Abstract
An example method includes receiving a stream that identifies I/O operations requested to be performed with respect to a data grouping, identifying, in the stream, random I/O requests and sequential I/O requests, queuing the sequential I/O requests in a priority/processing queue and processing the sequential I/O requests immediately without waiting for loading of any metadata, and processing a first one of the random I/O requests and a second one of the random I/O request. When the first and second random I/O requests each depend on the same range of metadata, the first and second random I/O requests are processed in the order received, and when the first and second random I/O requests each depend on different respective ranges of metadata, the first and second random I/O requests are processed at the same time.
